Does Friction Increase with Speed7

In reply to the query, does friction increase
or decrease with speedI Grmshaw answers:

Autumn Gloves.

Fourteen shades Of tan-colored I'M
dressed kid gloves are shown to be
worn with autumn and winter dress
es. For the street are four.buttoned
gloves with wide embroidery on the
back done in black or in self.colored
stitching; the buttons are gilt and
nearly half an inch in diameter; the
embroidery is done by machine

the wrong side, aid does not make
ugly ridges on the hands as the
rougher stitching does. Heavy dress
ed kid gloves of the same design, to
wear with tailor gowns, are ma in
English fashion, with Tapped "drawn
seams sewed as harness is sewed, to
show one light edge of the leather.
Gray. black, and mode or drab
shades are shown in both buttoned
and loose winter gloves, but the tan
colored uelontine, or undressed kid
gloves still make up the bulk of the
importations. Evening gloves OF
very light tan undressed kid are
worn long enough to meet the sleeve
but are smoother Oh the arms than
formerly; to keep them smooth a
simple plan is to slit them near the
top and pass an elastic band through
the Sits and around the arm, turning
down the top Of the glove (as for a
hem) to lille the elastic. Merchants
keep extra skins matching these
gloves in evening tan shades for
making slippers, which are worn
with Suede-colored silk stockings
The sac gloves, cut very full without
slit at the wrist, are made Of dark
pliable kid, and are worn very large
as neglige gloves that are easily put
off and on. Mems gloves are cut in
the same way, but are shorter than
those for ladies, and are liked for the
country. for driving, etc. AS rule
